Andheri magistrate court on Friday sent the 89-year-old former soldier, arrested for killing his ailing wife and mentally ill daughter, to judicial custody. Police informed the court that they have found the knife used in the murders and that their investigation is complete.

However, police have still not found out why Purshottam Singh Gandhok shifted from Virar to Andheri about two weeks back. He was living in a rented flat at Prem Sandesh Society in Sher-e-Punjab Colony, Andheri East. He killed his wife Jasbir Kaur and younger daughter Kamaljeet Kaur on the night of February 6 and surrendered the next morning. Gandhok had been taking care of them for the past 20 years and also did household chores.
